If you’re a fan of networking, you are no doubt very excited by all of the recent excitement in the industry as of late. And there is no larger area of innovation in networking at the moment than Open Source networking. Two of the projects at the forefront of Open Source networking innovation are OpenStack Neutron and OpenDaylight. OpenStack Neutron is driving an API around networking for Infrastructure as a Service Clouds, and has been very successful at driving mindshare in this area. There are a large number of Plugins and ML2 MechanismDrivers for Neutron in existence already. However, so far, there is no OpenDaylight integration with OpenStack, at least upstream. I am pleased to announce that a team of us are working on making this happen, however. We have a blueprint filed and we are actively working towards the support in OpenDaylight required to support the Neutron APIs. What I’m going to show you in this blog post is how to take what we currently have for a test run and try it out yourself.
